Deadline: March 29, 2024

Applications are open for the Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program 2024. The Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program focuses on increasing opportunities for emerging leaders of color to learn about, engage with, and enter the environmental and climate sectors with adequate funding, mentorship, and community building. The Fellowship is designed to attract and support Black women and gender-expansive rising juniors, rising seniors, and recent college graduates with demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the environmental and/or climate sectors.

Program Overview

Hazel M. Johnson Fellows are placed with a partner organization for a 10-week summer internship placement and cohort experience, gaining the skills, resources, and connections necessary to enter and stay in the environmental and climate sector.

All Fellows are assigned mentors, grow their networks, and forge lasting relationships within and between the cohort of fellows. HMJ Fellowship positions are full-time paid positions with a minimum hourly wage of $18 an hour. All Fellows will also receive a stipend of $5,000 (on top of the hourly wage) to go towards living expenses, professional development, and wellness, in addition to weekly coordinated professional development through Partner Organizations and Black Girl Environmentalist (BGE). The summer will conclude with an in-person retreat with fellow participants.

Benefits

  • Development of skills necessary to be successful in the climate and environmental space.
  • Compensation which includes an hourly wage, a living wage, and a wellness stipend.
  • Mentorship from a full-time mid to senior level staff member within their assigned organization.
  • Participation of 3 hours of professional development each week.
  • Cohort networking opportunities, including an end of summer in-person retreat.
  • Access to the entire BGE network and events.

Eligibility

  • Open to early career self-identified Black women or gender-expansive persons who are aspiring climate and environmental professionals.
  • This includes: rising juniors, rising seniors, recent graduates (up to 3 years out of undergrad) and first-year grad students (entering the first year of grad school in fall 2024).
  • Must demonstrate an interest in the environmental and/or climate field(s).
  • Applicants must be residing in the United States, or a United States territory, for the duration of the fellowship length.

*BGE fellows do not need to have an environmental science degree or formal training in this field. They are looking for individuals who are committed to justice and equity, who are passionate about working for an environmental or climate-focused organization, and who are excited about developing new skills.

Application

The application closes on March 29, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
